Next in thread: Barborza@aol.com: "Re: Oral Contraceptives: Over-the-Counter???" actually this is gonna be interesting. the obvious advantage is increased accessibility to contraception for more women, especially adolescents. the drawbacks are obvious too - many women for whom oc's are less desirable, eg smokers, medical problems, etc, may not be making a truly informed choice. finally, when the 35+ yr old smoker gets a heart attack, whom will she or her estate sue? the drug company, herself, the pharmacist, or the FDA? at least here, seems as tho the docs would be off the hook, no? a truly revolutionary concept on the eve of the anniversary of the american revolution. art At Sun, 2 Jul 2000, Robert J.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
